The Stanway coffee table’s weighty cuts of clean-edged teak contrast beautifully with the softness of planting and woven seating that might occupy your garden. Its design is unfussy but with strong lines and a slight rusticity, giving it a contemporary character that suits any outdoor setting. Design notes Inside-outside We believe that outside spaces should be as inviting as indoor ones (when it’s not raining, at least). So, we created coffee tables that are made for living in the garden, to pair with outdoor seating – because you’re just as likely to need somewhere to rest your cup of tea out there. Materials & finish Teak is perfectly suited to life outdoors because of its naturally-occurring oils, which act as a preservative. We’ve still treated it with our exterior oil though, for added protection and to temper the initial honey-brown colour. Over time, it’ll take on a silvered patina. In the making Each of our garden tables is made using proper joinery techniques. These help to counteract timber’s natural tendency to expand (slightly) and shrink (just a little) as it adjusts to changes in temperature and humidity. Design detail The slim gaps in Stanways's tabletop are one of the details that allow for movement in the timber, but they’re also there so water can run off. They’re decorative too, reminding us of the neat, linear decking found on boats. Specification Length: 130cm Depth: 70cm Height: 45cm Weight: 20kg
